For High-Raise Apartment Renters / Condo Owners
that can not get to the Ground and have Plastic
Pipes :

Take a Treaded Copper Fitting and Solder a #14
Bare Copper Wire to the inside of it.

The Copper Wire should be at least 8 Feet long
and can be up to 25 Feet.

Turn-off the Water and remove a Cold Water Fitting*
that is coming right out of the Wall : 'Fish' the
Bare Copper Wire down the Plastic Pipe; and then
install the Copper Fitting.

* Usually under the Kitchen or Bathroom Sinks :
Usually these Pipes drop straight-down.

Put a Metal Ground Clamp or Hose Clamp on the
Copper Fitting.

You now have your High-Raise Ground-Point.
